I disagree. I don't think the school zone law is vague, it's just stupid. And, as I pointed out in a post elsewhere, the Milwaukee map contains a definition of school zone that expands the definition BEYOND the description contained in the statutes by borrowing language from another part of the statutes and sneaking it into THEIR definition.Shotgun wrote:The Milwaukee map is filled with nonsense, as is their definition of "school zone." But, no a JD facility would not qualify as a school because it is not something that is commonly referred to as an "elementary school, middle school, junior high school, senior high school or high school" as required by the statute.
I looked at the statute and the way it is worded is vague enough that I think anywhere a 1-12 grade student is regularly receiving education would qualify.
Look at the actual wording, rather than what you want it to mean. I am pretty sure that the rules of construction would mean that when they say something is commonly called X, it does not restrict the definition to only things that are commonly called X.Think ofitlike they are including examples of what the definition includes, but not to the exclusion of other things that fit the definition.
Not trying to be disrespectful of your efforts, but if you are going to do this you should make sure you don't put out information that turns out to be legally wrong and gets someone a felony rap.
It seems likely that somewhere along the way there is at least one court case that discusses just what a school is.
You might also want to consider that while its not as if the feds are prosecuting people left and right over the federal school gun law, the wording there is just a hair different.
